  • the invention also relates to methods for punching a sheet-like substrate and for producing a container, as well as corresponding process products; a container precursor and a container; and uses of the device, a suction device and a sheet-like substrate.
  • the invention relates to the production of a laminate for the production of dimensionally stable food containers and here particularly to the punching of holes in the carrier layer of such a laminate.
  • Such holes are often provided to make it easier to open the finished container. So that the container has a sufficient tightness despite the hole in the carrier layer, the hole with the other Layers of the laminate covered as perforated cover layers.

  • the formation of a clearly bordered hole which closes cleanly with a drinking straw or, in the case of a pouring hole, has no polymer beads protruding into the hole or polymer threads spanning the hole, is desirable. If a drinking straw does not close cleanly with the hole, liquid can escape from the side of the drinking straw, which can have unpleasant consequences for the consumer. If a pouring hole has the noses or threads described above, the pouring can be unclean, especially in the case of beverages containing pulp. When the holes are punched in the carrier layer, punching slugs and, especially in the case of a paper or cardboard layer as carrier layer, naturally arise, dust.
  • the presence of the slugs and dust in the production line of laminates for food containers can create significant problems. If slugs or dust are trapped in the laminate, this can lead to durability problems in addition to visual and haptic problems with the laminate or container. Furthermore, the opening properties of the container can be adversely affected, so that no clearly bordered hole is obtained when it is opened.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif, lequel dispositif comprend les composants suivants : a) un premier outil de poinçonnage qui est conçu et agencé de telle sorte qu'il peut tourner autour d'un premier axe de rotation dans une première direction de rotation ; et b) un autre outil de poinçonnage qui est conçu et agencé de telle sorte qu'il peut tourner autour d'un autre axe de rotation dans une autre direction de rotation opposée à la première direction de rotation ; l'autre outil de poinçonnage ayant une matrice de poinçonnage pour poinçonner au moins un trou dans un substrat plat ; le premier outil de poinçonnage ayant une matrice ; et lequel est caractérisé en ce que le premier outil de poinçonnage a un premier espace creux, la matrice formant une première ouverture d'entrée du premier espace creux, le premier outil de poinçonnage ayant également une première ouverture de sortie du premier espace creux, qui est conçue et agencée de telle sorte qu'une pièce découpée du substrat plat reçue par la matrice peut être transportée le long d'un trajet de transport s'étendant à travers le premier espace creux et la première ouverture de sortie. L'invention concerne également des procédés pour poinçonner un substrat plat et pour produire un récipient et des produits de procédé correspondants ; un prototype de récipient et un récipient ; et des applications du dispositif, un dispositif d'extraction et un substrat plat.
